No.2 Warehouse, London Dock (Daniel Asher Alexander, 1805). This listed building was destroyed by fire and subsequent demolition in 1976/77. The chief fire officer on the scene is said to have remarked that the fire had been 'professionally set'. Alexander's magnificent five warehouse 'stacks' were replaced by Rupert Murdoch's infamous News International printing works, popularly remembered as 'Fortress Wapping'. After having lain disused for many years, they in turn were demolished in the second decade of the 2000s. At the time of writing they are being replaced by glass residential towers known as 'St.George's Square'. The 1978 photograph shows No.3 Warehouse, itself partially destroyed, across the rubble of No.2. (Toby Webster, 2022). '
